After that kind of wait
It is 49 years since England last won in Amsterdam, with Alf Ramsey as manager, Colin Bell scoring an 84th-minute winner and Emlyn Hughes winning his first cap, so Gareth Southgate and his players are entitled to feel pleased with themselves now they have http://www.officialbengalsfootballproshop.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_RANDY_BULLOCK_JERSEY.html recorded their first victory here against the Oranje since the year man set foot on the moon.

After that kind of wait, perhaps it might be slightly impertinent to point out that we saw here why this is regarded as the worst Dutch side for a long time. England certainly chose obliging opponents and on this evidence, with the stadium barely half-full by the final whistle, it is very clear that a win against this lot cannot Authentic Julien Davenport Jersey be considered the prize it once was.

Equally, England can still reflect on a satisfying evening after Jesse Lingard’s winning goal, a clean sheet for Jordan Pickford and – if we are to be grateful for small mercies – nothing too horrendous from the end decorated with St George’s flags.
Well, apart Chad Kelly Authentic Jersey from the usual brainless attempt to drown out another country’s national anthem. Over two days, more than 100 England fans have been arrested but at least when it comes to the actual football it was the other country who should be the more embarrassed.
Not that anyone in the England set-up should get Womens Zane Beadles Jersey too carried away just yet. The game against Italy at Wembley on Tuesday should provide a more realistic gauge of England’s World Cup preparations and, even in victory, there are still legitimate questions to be asked of Southgate when his team selections show so little in the way of pattern or structure.
He started here with three players who usually operate as right-backs for their clubs, but without one actually playing as a right-back. Danny Rose’s selection in the left wing-back role shows Southgate must have abandoned his policy of not picking players who are out of favour at their clubs and it would be intriguing to know what Harry http://www.49ersfootballjersey.com/deion-sanders-womens-youth-jersey Maguire, James Tarkowski and Alfie Mawson made of Kyle Walker being asked to experiment as a centre-half.
Confused? England should be glad this was such a poor Dutch side because the lack of clear strategy can seem bizarre, particularly when there are only three games now – or 270 minutes – to finalise their plans.
On that front, Southgate will at least have a better idea now why Rose has http://www.cowboysofficialauthentic.com/WOMENS-DAK-PRESCOTT-JERSEY.html fallen out of favour with Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham. Rose was involved in the goal but his overall performance was Womens Michael Pierce Jersey poor and, on the other side, Kieran Trippier did not do enough to disprove the theory that Walker is better equipped for the role. cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys
